Use Seamless File Transfer

Seamless file transfer uses TSO to transfer update.trn files to the Host Encyclopedia and checkout.trn files from the Host Encyclopedia.

Business Value

Seamless file transfer allows for easier file transfers because you do not need to be aware of where the file is transferred to or from on the mainframe. This saves time for you since it increases system performance.

Additional Considerations

Seamless file transfer moves data in 2K chunks so it is best suited for use with small model or subset downloads, or small uploads.
